"Eternity, after all, is a very long time."

"Eternity, after all, is a very long time."

Yes...after all--the very word assumes events; and events require separation in time. Those who speak of "eternity" in the absence of time are just unclear on the concept...

An eternity where nothing happened is possible, one supposes...but it would be rather uninteresting.
